My Reflection

After all my days,
Of just lying around,
With nothing to do,
Yet no time to spare,
I looked at myself in the mirror.
What I saw was a broken figure,
Doomed to live in the shadows.
Who was I to challenge fate?
What’s happened... happened,
There’s nothing I can change.
But as I sat there,
Just staring at my reflection,
It changed.
I saw love and hope,
Peace and understanding,
I finally accepted myself for the way I was.
I wasn't a figure doomed to make the same mistake,
I was the person I was meant to be,
And I was meant to be me.
Lost in my reflection,
I saw a change in my expression,
A smile had creep onto my face.
My mind was spinning,
So many thoughts,
So little time!
I had finally started to do what I was meant to do,
I was learning to just live my life
And with that I left my reflection behind.
